for those thinking that it takes too long, keep in mind that they will be wearing it for days at a time, and possibly weeks. the garment is easy to clean and easy to repair, it is just a sheet of cloth. an absolutely excellent piece of clothing for the use it was put to.
Love this! I'm British born but I'm Jamaican and Scottish...... always felt like I couldn't access my Scottish heritage because I'm Black but when my grandparents died, our clan colours were found including kilts. They're so old and beautiful and I want my brothers to wear them when I marry. 🥰. There are lots of Jamaican/Scottish mixes and I think its beautiful.
I've had, but youknow, it can go two ways. This is a Scotsman that is in his undies for a damn good reason and he also owns traditional weaponry. My experience was more of an; 'Awaaight, look at this beauty!' while the drunk Worms2-player holds up a bunch of Aliexpress throwing-knifes, and then threathens to shoot you with an airsoftgun, while you're watching Big Bang Theory and eat a bowl of cereal, which he then claims was 'just a joke.' Weapons are important and only need to be held in the right hands of people with no intention to harm someone. And weapons are interesting when they're being held by a knowledgeable and responsible bloke (optionally in his undies.) :)
For those who do not know, he is wearing a plaid. Plaid is a strip of wool used as a kilt and often slung over the should etc as demonstrated in the video. The plaid has a tartan pattern. Plaid is often referred to as the pattern on the fabric but that is incorrect. The cloth is called a plaid and the pattern is tartan.
I only recently learned this. I still can’t believe I went this long without knowing this (facepalm) Thank you for posting this, more people need to know.
That was very interesting! The kilt is actually a very practical and functional garment. Its also a blanket and a coat depending on weather. It can be hiked up to cross a river. Also allows for ease of movement.
I’ve read that it was helpful in combat, as well. For example, when they had to relieve themselves, not only could they do it much faster, they were never caught with their pants around their ankles.
this makes me so happy to see a highlander showing this!!! I have so many ancestors from Scotland. So happy to here their heritage isn't lost. 23 clans in my lineage. Keep it up you rock.
I have Scotsman in my DNA. But my last name is Burris, decidedly English. How can I identify my tartan? If there are Scots names in my lineage, can I just select one? At random?
WOW!! Loved this. My neighbors are going to wonder what in Sam Houston this African American woman is doing in the back yard with plaid fabric on the ground. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
@Carolina to the Caribbean And I live on an Island that is predominantly populated by Hispanics and White. I'm an eccentric Baby Boomer, I think I can get away with wearing a kilt Love Highlander and we have the Texas Renaissance Festival where lots of fellows are wearing the plaid. There I think, I would be quite conspicuous. I'm Braveheart enough to do it, though next year. Maybe by then Andythehighlander will show how a woman wore the plaid. If if doesn't work out, I have enough plaid to make surf board covers.
Wow, I am super amazed at this lovely traditional Scottish kilt drape. It felt a lot like draping Indian Sarees. Various world cultures never cease to amaze me. ❤️
Hi, I also didn't know how they were put on, and when I saw this I thought, ' can they really have lain on the ground to put it on? Surely they would have used a method akin to putting on a sari'.
Andy is a FANTASTIC guide! I HIGHLY recommend him! A genuinely friendly person who loves people and Scotland. He lives Scottish history and culture. He fitted me out on our two day trip with him in this plaid. You will learn the plaid is MUCH more than what most know as a "kilt"...
It’s not common to wear kilt regularly in Scotland. I would know I am part scottish and was in Scotland last year not once did I see man wearing kilt regularly . It’s only worn for special events and Highland games now days . Only people I saw in kilt was Andy or other tour guides not all were Scottish men two of them were born Italians given tours for Globus company .
That was actually very interesting. I never realized that it was all just one big piece of material and also how versatile it is. Thank you for sharing this with us.
With a properly done great kilt, a woman can cradle a child on one side and carry the daily shopping on the other and still have at least one hand free!
THE END IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. You very much resemble my husband. Makes me proud to have married a man of Scottish heritage - traced all the way back to Clan MacLaren. Our sons name is Finley Thomas, named after his great granddad who was a Lowry. We live just outside of Darien, GA USA. It’s where all the Highlanders settled in America and named “New Inverness” after their loss at The Battle of Culloden. They shaped our history! Great video
I think it’s cool because my best friend is of Scottish decent, and he loves everything about his roots. He’s the one who told me a master kilt is nine yards. Hence the old saying, “the whole nine yards.” Way to go! I’m so glad I have friends who share their heritage with me. Thank you so much for the video!
The whole nine yards has nothing to do with the kilt, it's origin is American and is only just over a century old, nobody knows it's full true origin but nowhere does it mention kilts in any way shape or form. The plaid itself is 4-5 yards too so no idea where he got that nonsense from.
As someone who used to wear a proper Great Kilt when I was part of the SCA, I call shenanigans! For one, just trying to find an area clear enough to get it all pleated up can take 5 minutes. @@johndubiel1149

I can just imagine an entire camp of highlanders neatly folding their plaids and lying around in the mud to put them on before battle! There must have been an easier way. (But thanks for the lesson!)
I watch the first couple minutes of this to make sure that it was what I was looking for, and then showed it to my wife because she was looking for skirt ideas. And you had to go and moon her.
(Video Begins) “Oh, what a fine dressed man. I don’t normally care about clothes, but that guy is right nicely dressed.” (Camera pans down to show he’s not wearing pants) “Oh.”
CH33K1_BR33K1 K1NG As someone who wears a kilt multiple times a week I can tell you that’s not really true. Sure, not wearing underwear can be really nice and I do it when hiking, around the house, in the garden, druving, getting groceries... You get the point. But whenever I’m in a more social setting like parties and birthdays or when there’s kids around I opt to wear a pair of boxers. The same is true for really windy and cold days. In those occasions I put on a pir of merino wool boxer briefs. Also, you don’t have to wash your kilt as often when wearing underwear.
That's what I love on RUclips. I was nonchalantly searching for something to watch then saw the video. Watched it and enjoyed it. If I have to wear a plaid one day, I'll be ready !
I would have to choose which clan kilt to wear as Clan McClellan , clan Crawford are my great parents familys. Also so Black watch, thru the line , tho they were reak scoundrals. Tykes, really.
Women wear differently as over rt shoulder ears on other shoulder, they did need to other shoulder as they did not need to draw long sword over rt. Only a clan chieftans and daughters of colonel daughters and wives wore over same shoulders on same side as men
@@slaywell1110 : I went to Scotland 5 times. I would have run off with any man wearing a kilt with a Border Collie by his side. Closest I got was a bartender at that little hotel near the ferry port in Harris. Ahhh.....he sat me on his lap and read to me in Gaelic. Fond memories.....fond memories. Is there anything sexier than a muscular Scot in a kilt? ;-D
Just found this video on "How to Wear Plaid." You are quite humorous! And just plain cute!! You made me smile and then laugh with the "wee bit of the bum." Thanks for that!
Thanks for the demo.. It's easy to see how practical it would have been back in the day to wear a multi functional kilt. A funny story I was told... a friend went to scotland and asked a guy wearing a kilt what he wears under his kilt... his reply... "Your woman's lipstick"
Such a great video, especially the last demonstration of how it's pulled over the shoulder. I never knew how they did that. Such an AWESOME and versatile piece of clothing! My husband wears his kilts a lot, but I think the next step is to wear the full plaid as a kilt. Great video! Thanks!
It’s not common to wear kilt regularly in Scotland. I would know I am part scottish and was in Scotland last year not once did I see man wearing kilt regularly . It’s only worn for special events and Highland games now days . Only people I saw in kilt was Andy or other tour guides not all were Scottish men two of them were born Italians given tours for Globus company .
tmj5girl not so, it depends where you go. There are plenty of folk wearing kilts around where I live in Aberdeenshire. From keepers and ghillies to guides and walkers. Add in the various Highland games and gatherings plus weddings, Burns suppers and dozens of other events, the kilt, both formal and informal, is worn.
Sadly it's not a common thing. Although you see plenty of kilts in Summer (wedding season) the majority of kilts are not made or formed this way they are pre-made and handed down, rented or bought for a small fortune in kilt shops. They are also worn mid knee. Are tied at the side with leather buckle straps and secured with a pin at the front. high socks, sporran, shirt waistcoat dress military style jacket and dress shoes and tie are all part of the outfit It looks incredibly smart. What this guy is wearing is like something from a historic reenactment.
Incredible! I wondered how the entire thing went together to get that look. I was interested in how the back was brought up to go on the shoulder and that it’s just one long piece of fabric (plaid). Thank you.
Late to the party on this one. He was starting to worry me as I’ve never met a scot who wasn’t regimental. Two thumbs up for the “wee flash” at the end.
MY GRANDFATHER WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND. HE HAD THE ACCENT TOO. LOVE HEARING IT, IT SO REMINDS ME OF HIM. CROSSMAN WAS HIS LAST NAME. VERY INTERESTING, THANK YOU.
I’m from the Middle East, but I’m really fascinated by the Scottish customs, clothing, weapons, traditions, and their highland games! Also, the early arab Muslims used to ware what is called “izar”, similar to the plaid, but thinner fabric due to the harsh weather, especially in the Arabian peninsula. They used to ware it with out pants too, before and after Islam( true Arab don’t ware pants I guess lol). Thanks for the recommendation YT, and thank you noble gentleman for the video. 🙏🏻
I recently bought the Clan Cochrane ancient plaid the whole 9 yards. It took me 3 times to get it on right. Your video really helped me learn the right way. An American girl traveled to Scotland to visit the land of her ancestors. She met a burly highlander and asked him Is it true you don’t wear any underwear under your kilt? The highlander said why don’t you stick your hand down there and find out. She put her hand under his kilt and cried it’s so grewsome! He replied eye lass and if you put your hand down there again it will grew some more!
Did you also hear about the Scotsman who was roaring drunk and on his way home from the pub on Saturday night pitched onto the side of the road and passed out. A woman passed him on her way to church on Sunday morning and seeing him exposed took a blue ribbon from her hair and wound it around his genitals to hide them. Some hours later when the fellow awoke and saw her handiwork he smiled and said "Laddie, I don't know where you've been but I'm sure glad to see you took first prize!"
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair, and one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share. He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet, then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. About that time two young and lovely girls came tappin' by, and one says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye, "See that sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built? I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt..."
They snuck up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be, and lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see, and THERE BEHOLD FOR THEM TO VIEW BENEATH HIS SCOTTISH SKIRT was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth They marveled for a moment, then one said "We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along. As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow, around the body part the Scot's kilt did lift and show.
The Scotsman woke to natures call and stumbled towards the trees, behind a bush, he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees, and in a startled voice, he says to what's before his eyes "Lad, I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!"
It's 3am and I really should be asleep, but youtube has graced my recommendations with this video. Now I have the answer to something I had no idea I wanted to know and delivered it in a really nice way, props to this guy!
Heyyyy....I'm 60+yrs old. Hiking about now, getting to hot, bound up, and wanted a versatile garment to wear. I knew the kilt was the answer, but didn't know how to do it. I subscribed, learned and enjoyed this video alot.
I've noticed quite a few questions about the yardage required for a great kilt. I'm sure Andy will correct me if I'm wrong, so here goes. The hand looms that the tartan was woven on produced cloth about 30" wide. The nine yards of tartan was cut in half, and the halves were sewn together to produce a tartan 4 1/2 yards long by 60" wide. Modern looms produce cloth 60" wide, so 9 yards of modern tartan is enough for 2 kilts.Since I stand 6' 10", I've considered producing a 120" wide kilt. Also, when asked what I wear beneath the kilt, I tell them to look for themselves.... My Boots!
I have to do this. I'm eight or nine generations here in the Highlands of Western NC and I finally been researching my family history at 48. A lot of Scottish in there so thank you for this video. I just found you man on your awesome short reels on Facebook! I'm going to do this and rock it here out in town one day!
I had to watch this twice....once to bask in his glorious gorgeousness and then to actually see the plaid. ( I guess this answers the age old question...his shirt tails!) Fascinating video. Thank you. ❤️ from 🇺🇸
I never knew nor imagined that the fabric wasn't sewed to keep that shape nor that it required so many steps, but I think it is way better like that. Great explanation, I loved it even if as a woman I can't wear one P.S.: maybe is not very classy of me to mention, but what a lovely bum
Just like mustache_man said, the Earasaid is literally a "1 for 1 copy" with the slight difference of being slightly longer just to cover the legs more, its honestly a wonderful clothing piece to try on, especially because of how easy it is to do. (literally just buy a nice fabric + belt at any store, or be an adventuring soul and use a curtain like another comment said... cant guarantee is works!)
I made a Dirk for Bo Gantt who is a Georgia boy and Scot by ancestry. Didn't realize that I made one for him until I saw one earlier this year. I like the Dirk. Never jams, always loaded and handy, lethal and intimidating.
as a fan of historical romance novels, i HAD to get a picture of this in my head. now that i have, i’m not entirely sure i love it, but i certainly see the practicality and can’t fault them for it. I, too, love to wrap myself in a big blankie when it’s cold lol

@@LimaXIII kilt
@@LimaXIII it is just called a plaid. He pronounced it with a long 'a'.
the Scots Gaelic for this is fèileadh mòr, if I´m not mistaken. Otherwise it´s often called belted plaid or great kilt.
fèileadh mòr as opposed to the fèileadh beag (also transliterated as filibeg), or small plaid/kilt.
I was just thinking about that, it woyld be terriable to be caught by an enemy while getting rolled up
I never asked how it’s done, I’ll never do it, but yet here I am... just in case I ever find myself in 18th century Scotland

@@amberc5457 that's the best way LOL
@@Marianneduetje And likely why they didn't/don't wear anything under the kilt
Robert Hall warm enough ? In Scotland ? I doubt it ....!
I’m American and I’ve never seen this before. Totally mesmerized.
Honey, I could watch this all day!
Took me a full minute to realise this bloke’s not got any bottoms on. Nice thighs sir.
CM Bea oh when I say bottoms I’m referring to trousers or the like. Thank God he is wearing pants lol I would’ve been concerned if he wasn’t
I watch the first couple minutes of this to make sure that it was what I was looking for, and then showed it to my wife because she was looking for skirt ideas. And you had to go and moon her.
ahh twas only a wee half moon lol
So fun! These kilts are so much more attractive than the little ones they wear today.
Love listening to Scotsmen! Great accents!
I'll admit the Scottish accent AND the no pants have me riveted!
@MimiParis Commando with the Kilt is much more fun LOL
(Video Begins)
“Oh, what a fine dressed man. I don’t normally care about clothes, but that guy is right nicely dressed.”
(Camera pans down to show he’s not wearing pants)
“Oh.”
😂
He was wearing pants, just no trousers. They came off later
What do you expect? You never wear pants (underwear) while wearing a kilt!
@@ruaridhusher4373 nope.

As someone who wears a kilt multiple times a week I can tell you that’s not really true. Sure, not wearing underwear can be really nice and I do it when hiking, around the house, in the garden, druving, getting groceries... You get the point. But whenever I’m in a more social setting like parties and birthdays or when there’s kids around I opt to wear a pair of boxers. The same is true for really windy and cold days. In those occasions I put on a pir of merino wool boxer briefs.
Also, you don’t have to wash your kilt as often when wearing underwear.
And what a nice 'wee bit of bum it was!! I had not idea that the kilt had this many steps to get it on correctly. Looks great when it's on!
I was reading about kilts and understood half since there weren't any drawings. This video put everything in place. Thanks!
That's what I love on RUclips. I was nonchalantly searching for something to watch then saw the video. Watched it and enjoyed it. If I have to wear a plaid one day, I'll be ready !

Not to ruin the vibe, but it's been going viral, we all get it recommended. It's been 11 hours since you posted that, there's a system.
I would have to choose which clan kilt to wear as Clan McClellan , clan Crawford are my great parents familys. Also so Black watch, thru the line , tho they were reak scoundrals. Tykes, really.
Women wear differently as over rt shoulder ears on other shoulder, they did need to other shoulder as they did not need to draw long sword over rt. Only a clan chieftans and daughters of colonel daughters and wives wore over same shoulders on same side as men
A half naked Scotsman with a lethal weapon concealed behind his sporran? I SUBSCRIBED !!
So did I gina wiggles
So did I 🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘
@@slaywell1110 : I went to Scotland 5 times. I would have run off with any man wearing a kilt with a Border Collie by his side. Closest I got was a bartender at that little hotel near the ferry port in Harris. Ahhh.....he sat me on his lap and read to me in Gaelic. Fond memories.....fond memories. Is there anything sexier than a muscular Scot in a kilt? ;-D
@@ginawiggles918 yes..... two muscular Scots in kilts :)
@@MoonbeameSmith : Gotta admit.....a manly man in a kilt gets me in a romantic mood.
@@ginawiggles918 Did I mention that I wear a kilt most summer dayz?
Just found this video on "How to Wear Plaid." You are quite humorous! And just plain cute!! You made me smile and then laugh with the "wee bit of the bum." Thanks for that!
We all need one of these...so versatile! Thanks for the demo & your sweet sense of humor at the end....Cheers to the bum...nice "flash" :)
Thanks for the demo.. It's easy to see how practical it would have been back in the day to wear a multi functional kilt.
A funny story I was told... a friend went to scotland and asked a guy wearing a kilt what he wears under his kilt...
his reply... "Your woman's lipstick"
toamaori 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for posting. Now I know what Jaime was doing in Outlander when he rolled on the ground to put his on. lol.
Such a great video, especially the last demonstration of how it's pulled over the shoulder. I never knew how they did that. Such an AWESOME and versatile piece of clothing! My husband wears his kilts a lot, but I think the next step is to wear the full plaid as a kilt. Great video! Thanks!
I don't have a plaid yet but thank you for helping me stay warm this winter.
I think I know what I’m gonna try with my curtains this evening
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
That was brilliant! Love the Scots! And to answer the age-old question, "Nothing's worn. Everything is in perfect working order."
The final wardrobe adjustment is everything. thanks, man! this was very informative and made the process very clear!
Thank heavens I finally understand this, been wondering ever since I bought a kilt, then watched a play about an early scot.
There is nothing like having a man standing in all his glory about to wrap himself in a kilt!!! This is why I want to move to Scotland!!!
It’s not common to wear kilt regularly in Scotland. I would know I am part scottish and was in Scotland last year not once did I see man wearing kilt regularly . It’s only worn for special events and Highland games now days . Only people I saw in kilt was Andy or other tour guides not all were Scottish men two of them were born Italians given tours for Globus company .
tmj5girl not so, it depends where you go. There are plenty of folk wearing kilts around where I live in Aberdeenshire. From keepers and ghillies to guides and walkers. Add in the various Highland games and gatherings plus weddings, Burns suppers and dozens of other events, the kilt, both formal and informal, is worn.
Kilt on windy day is fun
Sadly it's not a common thing. Although you see plenty of kilts in Summer (wedding season) the majority of kilts are not made or formed this way they are pre-made and handed down, rented or bought for a small fortune in kilt shops. They are also worn mid knee. Are tied at the side with leather buckle straps and secured with a pin at the front. high socks, sporran, shirt waistcoat dress military style jacket and dress shoes and tie are all part of the outfit It looks incredibly smart. What this guy is wearing is like something from a historic reenactment.

There’s usually not much glory.
Best no sewing hack ever! I'm wearing all my skirts with this method.
No true Scotsman would ever commit a no true Scotsman fallacy! 😉😆 Thanks for the demo though, really like the gear!
Incredible! I wondered how the entire thing went together to get that look. I was interested in how the back was brought up to go on the shoulder and that it’s just one long piece of fabric (plaid). Thank you.
Idk why I was recommended this, but I’m not even disappointed
On a Scotsman could do a RUclips vid with nothing on his bottom half and be totally chill with it. By Odin's beard, I love that place!!
Late to the party on this one. He was starting to worry me as I’ve never met a scot who wasn’t regimental. Two thumbs up for the “wee flash” at the end.
omg that was beautiful to watch
MY GRANDFATHER WAS BORN IN SCOTLAND. HE HAD THE ACCENT TOO. LOVE HEARING IT, IT SO REMINDS ME OF HIM. CROSSMAN WAS HIS LAST NAME. VERY INTERESTING, THANK YOU.
I’m from the Middle East, but I’m really fascinated by the Scottish customs, clothing, weapons, traditions, and their highland games! Also, the early arab Muslims used to ware what is called “izar”, similar to the plaid, but thinner fabric due to the harsh weather, especially in the Arabian peninsula. They used to ware it with out pants too, before and after Islam( true Arab don’t ware pants I guess lol). Thanks for the recommendation YT, and thank you noble gentleman for the video. 🙏🏻
no idea why this was in my recommended but i live for this
Great demonstration of a grand kilt. I love the Scottish culture. thanks you
I recently bought the Clan Cochrane ancient plaid the whole 9 yards. It took me 3 times to get it on right. Your video really helped me learn the right way. An American girl traveled to Scotland to visit the land of her ancestors. She met a burly highlander and asked him Is it true you don’t wear any underwear under your kilt? The highlander said why don’t you stick your hand down there and find out. She put her hand under his kilt and cried it’s so grewsome! He replied eye lass and if you put your hand down there again it will grew some more!
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. And a fine arse too!!
Shameless !!
Did you also hear about the Scotsman who was roaring drunk and on his way home from the pub on Saturday night pitched onto the side of the road and passed out. A woman passed him on her way to church on Sunday morning and seeing him exposed took a blue ribbon from her hair and wound it around his genitals to hide them. Some hours later when the fellow awoke and saw her handiwork he smiled and said "Laddie, I don't know where you've been but I'm sure glad to see you took first prize!"
Julie Biddle,
If you haven't heard that story from the source, here it is:
ruclips.net/video/VoUV5d09JZw/видео.html
🤣😂
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair,
and one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
About that time two young and lovely girls came tappin' by,
and one says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye,
"See that sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt..."
They snuck up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
and lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see,
and THERE BEHOLD FOR THEM TO VIEW BENEATH HIS SCOTTISH SKIRT
was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment, then one said "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along.
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
around the body part the Scot's kilt did lift and show.
The Scotsman woke to natures call and stumbled towards the trees,
behind a bush, he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees,
and in a startled voice, he says to what's before his eyes
"Lad, I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!"
😂😂😂

It's 3am and I really should be asleep, but youtube has graced my recommendations with this video. Now I have the answer to something I had no idea I wanted to know and delivered it in a really nice way, props to this guy!
His kid melted my heart!
How FABULOUS! Thank you so much! I had to get my Scots ears on to listen......
Heyyyy....I'm 60+yrs old. Hiking about now, getting to hot, bound up, and wanted a versatile garment to wear. I knew the kilt was the answer, but didn't know how to do it. I subscribed, learned and enjoyed this video alot.
I've noticed quite a few questions about the yardage required for a great kilt. I'm sure Andy will correct me if I'm wrong, so here goes. The hand looms that the tartan was woven on produced cloth about 30" wide. The nine yards of tartan was cut in half, and the halves were sewn together to produce a tartan 4 1/2 yards long by 60" wide. Modern looms produce cloth 60" wide, so 9 yards of modern tartan is enough for 2 kilts.Since I stand 6' 10", I've considered producing a 120" wide kilt. Also, when asked what I wear beneath the kilt, I tell them to look for themselves.... My Boots!
Nice image 😉
Whats under the kilt?
Scotland's future.
What's under the kilt?
My magic stones.
Those are the ones I use when asked ;)
From a London Cockney born and bred it is great to see some one who knows the history of their culture - well done
Ok, I must confess: Outlander brought me here! Absolutely loved the video! Always wanted to know how they put it on. Thanks!
loved that demo of how to wear it! I never seen that. LOL. awesome tradition! Much Respect. Thank you.
Running around without pants gives you a real advantage in battle when the other side falls over laughing.
Are my eyes deceiving me....or is this A REAL MAN ???
Ken Rowland I’m moving to Scotland. Rrrowwrrr....
Leona Bastet Lagavulin?
I have to do this. I'm eight or nine generations here in the Highlands of Western NC and I finally been researching my family history at 48. A lot of Scottish in there so thank you for this video. I just found you man on your awesome short reels on Facebook! I'm going to do this and rock it here out in town one day!
I had to watch this twice....once to bask in his glorious gorgeousness and then to actually see the plaid. ( I guess this answers the age old question...his shirt tails!)
Fascinating video. Thank you.
❤️ from 🇺🇸
This is amazing and I appreciate that you showed us how is done.
I mean, I will never put this knowledge in practice but I’m glad I gained it.
I never knew nor imagined that the fabric wasn't sewed to keep that shape nor that it required so many steps, but I think it is way better like that. Great explanation, I loved it even if as a woman I can't wear one
P.S.: maybe is not very classy of me to mention, but what a lovely bum
If you want a women’s version, try an arisaid! It’s longer and worn over the dress, that’s pretty much the only difference
Just like mustache_man said, the Earasaid is literally a "1 for 1 copy" with the slight difference of being slightly longer just to cover the legs more, its honestly a wonderful clothing piece to try on, especially because of how easy it is to do. (literally just buy a nice fabric + belt at any store, or be an adventuring soul and use a curtain like another comment said... cant guarantee is works!)
Modern kilts are sewn but this shows a traditional 18th century plaid.
I made a Dirk for Bo Gantt who is a Georgia boy and Scot by ancestry. Didn't realize that I made one for him until I saw one earlier this year. I like the Dirk. Never jams, always loaded and handy, lethal and intimidating.
Goodness gracious, well that brought history to life!
I did wonder, Well know we know! Thank you for educating us.
I love the tartan, it suits you so well. It made me want to try it! (I was in love but realized the camera person was probably your wife!!)
as a fan of historical romance novels, i HAD to get a picture of this in my head. now that i have, i’m not entirely sure i love it, but i certainly see the practicality and can’t fault them for it. I, too, love to wrap myself in a big blankie when it’s cold lol
